Chapter 889: She let him go
"I don't know." Eaton shook his head, he was also lost for words. "At first there were only five people, who forced their way inside the castle fighting with the guards, but not long after that, the crowd increased and it seems like the whole city came to this place."
"What about the other entrance gates!?" Raphael's eyes turned sharp. What the hell happened here?!Was this done by the devils?
There were three entrance gates to this castle, the north gates, the south gates and the east gates, each of them were heavily guarded since the Donovans were currently out of reach.
However, if the whole city were coming for them, it meant they were being besieged now. That didn't sound very good.
"The same happened at the other two gates too," Eaton said grimly as he watched their people being slaughtered by the beasts that managed to climb the high walls.
Raphael clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Order as many people as you can to gather at the three entrance gates and meet me with all the leaders in the throne room as fast as you can," Raphael gave him an order and then he rushed back to his room to find Lana.
"Got it," Eaton said and ran to the other direction to mind-link as many people as he could reach.
[Call!] Raphael mind-link Calleb while he ran in the corridor. [The castle!]
[I know! I see it!] came Calleb's answer. [I am at the north entrance gates! Its like hell in here!] he groaned. It seemed like he was answering while fending off the intruders in a battle.
[You have never been there, Call…] Raphael remarked, trying to lighten the mood so it could be less tense.
[Yeah,] Calleb scoffed. [Do something Raph, or if they indeed managed to go through all of us, we are done for!]
[Just hold on!]

Rossie was awoken by the noises from down stairs, where she could hear all of her family's voices.
Why are they still awake at this hour? Rossie thought, as she rubbed her eyes sleepily.
Soon she heard hasty footsteps in the corridor and not long after that, someone barged into her room without knocking first.
Rossie almost jumped from her bed when someone opened the door harshly.
"Ian!" Rossie half-yelled at her brother, who didn't even care to wait for his little sister to catch her breath when he threw away her blanket and pulled out one of her cloak randomly.
"Wear this, we have to go from here," Ian said sternly.
"What happened?" Rossie was confused, but seeing Ian now, she knew it was not the time for long explanation. Something big must have been going on.
"You, mother and Bree should go to the bunker," Ian said, as he helped Rossie to wear her shoes and made sure that she was warm enough. "We are besieged."
"Besieged? By whom?" Rossie asked again, fear palpable in her eyes.
"The whole city." Ian yanked open the door and grabbed his little sister's hand, as they joined the rest of the family in the living room.

"What is happening out there?" Lana asked Raphael, as they met in the corridor.
How could she stay inside the room, when she heard a lot of commotion and people yelling from out there?
"We are being besieged," Raphael immediately approached his mate and grabbed her hand to lead her to the bunker. "You need to stay in the bunker with the rest of the people."
"Is the situation that worse?" Lana tried to keep up her pace with Raphael, but it was hard for her to do so, since her stomach had grown so big and she couldn't see her feet.
Seeing Lana having difficulties to keep up with his pace, Raphael carried her to go down the stairs and ran toward the direction of the bunker.
Lana wrapped her hands around Raphael's neck, as she could see the ongoing fight in the yard. Right now, it seemed it could still be handled, but once those beasts went through the entrance gates, the result would be unpredictable.
Lana felt unease when she saw this, especially when Raphael put her down right in front of the door to the bunker, where she saw that many people had already gathered and most of them were women, children and the elders, who wouldn't be able to fight.
If only Lana was not pregnant and she needn't had to think about their child, she wouldn't let Raphael to leave her behind. She was a fighter herself and she would fight alongside her mate if it was necessary.
Yet, the reality told her otherwise. There was an important soul that she needed to protect, even with her own life.
"Go inside," Raphael said, as he put her down and let Keira, one of the Omega, to take care of his mate. "I will look for you once everything was settled." He leaned over to kiss Lana's temple and kneel to kiss her bump, their unborn baby. "I will come for you…" he whispered.
From afar, loud voices of people screaming and cursing could be heard, followed by a deafening explosion sound.
It forced them to be alert, as Raphael stood up immediately. He must to go now.
"I have to go," Raphael said to Lana, but she pulled him for a hug.
"Please come back," Lana said softly, pleading for his return. She didn't know why she felt this way, but seeing how those people caught them off guard and the fact that it was the people from the city that had attacked them, left her restless.
She didn't want to think of the worse, but it just kept flashing in her mind. All the worst possibilities that could happen and this scared her to the core.
Even so, she knew without a doubt that Raphael would go straight to that battlefield.
"I will, sweetheart. I will," Raphael promised her and hugged her back tightly, but not tight enough to hurt their baby. "I will come back for the two of you, I promise."
Lana nodded and sobbed silently when she let him go…
Yet, her heart told her that she shouldn't do that…
